My timing is a little off, but all I have to say is that it wasn't all my fault! The latest issues of the two journals for which I am the editor have gone out, one a little late and one somewhat more.
The November issue of
ZichronNote is just now going out to members of the
San Francisco Bay Area Jewish Genealogical Society. I'm very proud to be publishing an article about graphic artist
Arthur Szyk, written by the official genealogist of the
Arthur Szyk Society. Other articles are a discussion of the "widow's portion" of inheritances, a review of the book
Bread to Eat and Clothes to Wear, and information about a new series of translated
yizkor books being printed by
JewishGen.org.
Three articles in the September issue of
The Galitzianer, which was sent to members of
Gesher Galicia in early November (yes, really!), focus on the Holocaust: a memoir of the events in the city of
Stanisławów, the part the airfield in
Krosno played during World War II, and tracking down what actually happened to a convicted Nazi criminal. A more scholarly article looks at how
Beth Din records can not only shed light on the daily activities of a town but can also help researchers reconstruct family relationships. In the final article a woman retraces the life of her great-great-aunt in Poland.
You can receive
ZichronNote and
The Galitzianer if you join the respective organizations. Each journal is published quarterly. I try to publish interesting articles that help broaden our knowledge of the places and times in which our ancestors lived.
